RAF airplane "Punjab No. 37 Chambra"

Dutch newspapers reported the emergency landing of a British military airplane in the first days of January 1919. This was in the south of Limburg province (Amstenrade).

In an article it says the airplane had the title "Punjab 37 Chambra".

I did find a Be 2C with that name, but this one appears to have been shot down on 20 June 1916 over France (Lt Paterson KIA, Lt Cooke DOW). RFC No. 8 Squadron.

Was there a later No. 37 Chambra and if so, which one?

There are pictures of "Punjab 22 Simla Hills" (R.E. 8 C2281), so perhaps the new No. 37 was also of this type?

In general: did No. 8 Squadron name its a/c "Punjab etc?

Thanks for any info.

Regards,

Leendert
